The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Factor 1 - Technical Capability/Specifications Factor 2 - Price (b) Basis for Award: Award of this contract shall be made on a competitive best value basis using "Lowest Price, Technically Acceptable (LPTA)" approach. Evaluation will be made to identify all Offerors whose quotes are technically acceptable in accordance with this RFQ and the evaluation criteria set forth below. Award will be made to the Offeror from the pool of technically acceptable quotes, whose price is the lowest. The Offerors' quotes will be evaluated to ensure the Government receives a technically acceptable quote at a fair and reasonable price. Technical acceptability will be determined by evaluating the following non-price factor: Factor 1 - Technical Capability/Specifications The Government evaluators will not assume the Offeror possesses the product/equipment unless specified in the quote. After the above non-price factor is rated individually, an overall rating will be assigned collectively to the factor. If the above non-price evaluation factor receives an individual rating of "Unacceptable", the collective overall rating will also be "Unacceptable". Only proposals receiving an overall rating of "Acceptable" will be considered for award. (c) Evaluation Criteria: The Offeror's quote for this requirement will be evaluated using the following criteria. An evaluation for technical acceptability will be made to ensure satisfactory responsiveness to the requirements set for in this RFQ. The non-price factor will be rated "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable" using the following rating standards: Factor 1. Technical Capability/Specification: The Offeror's quote shall be evaluated to the degree to which the Offeror demonstrates (1) an understanding of the requirement; (2) the Offeror is capable of providing the required brand name or equal products/equipment that meet the salient characteristics described in the MECs identified in Table 1; and (3) the Offeror is capable of delivering the products/equipment within the stated delivery schedule contained within this RFQ. All quotations submitted with "equal" products/equipment shall provide a matrix which correlates to the MECs identified in Table 1 of the RFQ. Factor 2. Price: The Offeror's proposed price shall be evaluated separately from the non-price evaluation factor. Price quote evaluation is to determine whether the Offeror's proposed price is fair and reasonable in accordance with FAR 13.106-3.
